There is an entry for Keyingham [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TA2425/keyingham/] [accessed 30 July 2014], and it reports a priest and a church in it. Lewis' Dictionary of 1848 entry for Keyingham St. Nicholas' comments: "the font is very ancient." Noted in Glynne's August 1854 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font is a circular bowl moulded with plain lancet arches, on a cylinder all painted yellow and white, apparently Early English" [NB: Glynne uses spelling "Kayingham"]. English Heritage [Listing NGR: TA2451625499] (1966) notes: "Good C13 font with large cylindrical bowl bearing arcading of pointed Y-traceried trefoiled arches."
